GPS power
I have a 2005 Road King Custom and want to add a GPS. Does anybody else that has one have pictures of how to wire the power outlet to the accessories switch and battery?

you may find it easier to wire to the unused plug attached to your head light wire.
i stole a photo- it looks like this:
orange/white is hot, black is ground

I guess I wouldn't need to wire to Accessory Switch, not sure why I was thinking of dong that. May have been half asleep when I posted last night.

This is what I used, couldn't be any easier. All you need are a couple of male spade terminals.

I just put a direct wire kit on my SG and the extra hot/ground at the head light harness is were I pulled power from.

Same here.
Pull your headlight, you will be looking at 'em.
That's what I did.

Same here. 2 male spade connectors and you're good to go. It was very easy.
